There was a crowd of people on the pier, and everyone saw a big ship docked. Behind the hatch, there was a pretty shadow of a maid walking back and forth. The woman was busy, knowing which big family's female family came into Beijing by water, and stopped to wait and see.

Mrs. Meng took a purple veil from Mother Liu and put it on her daughter’s head. The purple veil was shoulder-length, covering Jiafu’s face. She was escorted out of the cabin with Mrs. Meng and Zhen Yaoting. Through the veil blowing in the wind, I saw a horse parked on the shore at a glance. On the horse was a young and handsome man with the appearance of a young man, with golden hair tied and a brocade robe, walking around the gray travels. Against the background of her husband, she is extraordinarily rich and dazzling.

He was looking in this direction and saw Jiafu and his party appear in the hatch. With bright eyes, he quickly got off the horse and greeted him.

Pei Xiuzhi quickly stepped onto the deck and bowed to Mrs. Meng with a smile on his face: "Counting these few days, I should be there. I am looking forward to it every day. Today can be regarded as waiting. Is the road going smoothly?"

The last time Mrs. Meng entered Beijing was three years ago. After the unfortunate death of her husband, she never walked northward, but she met Pei Xiuzhi in the middle. The year before, he had been to Quanzhou with the nephew Pei Xiuluo of Erfang's own aunt and nephew, and settled at that time. In my own home.

"Thanks to the blessing of the second son, everything is fine." Madam Meng said with joy in her heart and smiled.

Zhen Yaoting called out his second cousin, and the staff of the Zhen family accompanied by Zhang Da also greeted him. Pei Xiuzhi nodded and turned his gaze to Jia Fu.

When he went to Quanzhou last time, she was only fourteen years old, and she had come out very well. He never forgot when he came back, remembering that when she got out of the cabin, the veil was blown by the wind. Although she only glanced at her, she entered. The immortal appearance of the purpose is more and more amazing.

"cousin."

He looked at Gaffer and called her, in a very gentle voice.

Just a little blessed, Jiafu passed by him, was swarmed ashore by the girl-in-law, and got on his own carriage waiting there.

Pei Xiuzhi turned his head and kept looking at her figure until he disappeared in the carriage. Fang recovered and robbed Mrs. Meng to go ashore. He took the lead, drank away the passers-by and protected the mother and daughter of the Zhen family back to Zhen. Home.

The Zhen family’s mansion is located in the west of the city, not far from the Guogong Mansion, but only two blocks away. In order to prepare for the marriage, a manager came here early a few months ago.

Mrs. Meng and his party entered the house, took a rest, changed clothes, led a pair of children, took maidservants and the meeting ceremony, and rode in a carriage to visit relatives at the Guogong Mansion.

Old Wei Guogong was the founding hero of Wei, and he followed Taizu to fight in the west, and Fang laid this hereditary foundation for his descendants. The wall of the Guogong Mansion occupies most of the street. The southeast corner opens with wide and bright gates. Under the steps, the stone lions are oppositely seated. The eaves are painted with vermilion lacquer, and there are decorations representing the superior rank. It is tall and solemn, with extraordinary style, and ordinary officials The gate of the government is completely different, representing the detached status of the Guogong Mansion.

The door was usually not open, and it was closed at the moment. Only a side door was opened for the people to enter. Several concierges stood there with their hands in their hands. They saw the second master coming from a distance and ran swiftly. To meet, Mrs. Meng, who got off the carriage, greeted her and exclaimed: "Grandma is here. Our wife just sent someone to ask. Go in."

Gaffer had already lifted the veil, was helped by the girl-in-law and got out of the carriage, followed his mother and brother through the side door and walked through the corridors and halls, and finally reached a darkened gate in front of a large courtyard in the southeast. Half-open, this is where the Long Room of the Guogong Mansion is located.

Mrs. Xin wore home-made clothes and was covered with a purple coat. In the house, she heard the noise of a girl and a woman outside the yard. She knew that someone was coming, and she squeezed her temples, but she couldn't help herself until she heard it. As the footsteps approached, Mrs. Meng’s laughter came in, and said, "Is that lady in our house inside?" Then he got up and walked out, followed by six or seven girls and women, and saw Mrs. Meng. With a smile on his face, he said: "No, I'm here!" Aside from people, I walked up quickly, caught Mrs. Meng affectionately, and sighed: "You are too. You have to come all the way on the road. Let the children take a breath. Just a few days late, what can I do, is it possible that I still eat you?" Then he blamed his son: "How did I tell you before? If you scream, you won’t let people breathe first. Sigh."

The girls and women on the side all laughed and said: "Our wife is like a bodhisattva. Just now I have been thinking about grandma and you are struggling on the road. This is distressed, and even the second master is scolded."

Mrs. Meng hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I missed it. I'm here today.

Zhen Yaoting made an admiration, and Jia Fu also said good fortune to Madam Xin. Madam Xin looked at Jia Fu, stepped forward and held her hand lovingly, and sighed to Madam Meng, "I don’t know how you are such a beautiful daughter. Born. I always say, I don’t have that blessing. If there is a daughter like this in front of me, there will be someone who can speak caring words."

Ms. Meng was always happy when her daughter was praised, but said: "Afu is stupid and ignorant, so I hope that I won't make trouble in the future, so I will recite Buddhism."

The mother-in-law next to Mrs. Xin said again: "It's too late for our wife to be in love, why?"

After being affectionate, and saying something about the meeting, Madam Meng was let in. Madam Xin frowned slightly and asked the woman next to her: "The people over there, haven't they come yet?"

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the voice of the girl outside the door: "The second lady is here!"

Mrs. Meng hurriedly got up to meet her.

Jiafu raised his eyes and saw his aunt, Mrs. Meng, leading people inside, followed by his fourth cousin Pei Xiuhong, who came in and laughed: "I just wanted to be here long ago, but I just wanted to wait for the third one. He passed it away. A young man came back and said that the article he wrote today was praised by Master Taixue, and he was stuck and couldn't come back. He asked me to accompany his aunt on his behalf, and wait for the goodbye when he came back."

She has a smile on her face, affectionate and affectionate, no different from what she looked like before.

In fact, at the very beginning, the second wife deliberately wanted to tell Jiafu to his son Pei Xiuluo, but she was a little concerned about the family's family. According to her idea, it's best to let Gaffer be her son's partial house, and she talked with Mrs. Meng privately, saying that after going through the door in the future, she would definitely treat her as her own, and never wronged her. Madam Meng was deaf and dumb when she was in fashion, and did not answer the conversation. The second wife also knew. The Zhen family refused to let their daughter be a child, so she didn't mention it. It didn't take long for people to give it to Dafang.

Mrs. Meng was just such a daughter, and in any case would not let her be a small child, even if the other party was the grandson of the Guogong Mansion. But after Mrs. Xin came here to talk, the old lady who had always been in charge of the family agreed with one bite. Mrs. Meng also considered it. Although her daughter was a continuation, she was married to the decent daughter of the Guogong Mansion and gave birth to a decent son. What's more, Dafang's second son, whether in character or appearance, was chosen from a hundred, there was really no reason to object, so the marriage was settled.

Because of the previous incident, Mrs. Meng was originally worried that this time the sisters would meet, it would be somewhat embarrassing. At this moment, seeing her attitude as before, thinking that this sister had no grudges in her heart, she finally let go of her heart and praised her nephew for progress. Jia Fu and his brother went to meet again. Pei Xiuhong also called his cousin with a smile. After the relatives recounted the past, Mrs. Meng asked, "How about the old lady? If I am free, I will lead the children to give her the old man a kowtow."

Mrs. Xin sent someone to ask questions. After a while, the old lady came back and said: "The old lady is in poor health these days. She is in the Buddhist hall. She hasn't finished reading the scriptures. She said that grandma has worked hard all the way and doesn't need to kowtow. Ask the madam and the second wife to be entertaining, and don't neglect your relatives."

Although the marriage between Jiafu and Pei Xiuzhi has been finalized, and everyone knows that the family is up and down, but because Jiafu has not had a filial piety period before, everything is only verbally negotiated, and no formal ceremony. The old lady is now referred to as "relatives". Zhen's family, it's not considered to be outside.

In the past few years, Mrs. Pei has been in poor health and seldom shows up to meet guests in person. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. Besides, the Zhen family is not a distinguished guest in the Guogong Mansion. The old lady’s reply was something that everyone expected. Within, I just sent someone to ask, but I just left for a while.

Mrs. Meng got up hurriedly: "Then I won't bother the old lady. When the old lady's birthday comes, I will bring the children to kowtow."

The birthday was three days later, and it was almost too soon, Madam Xin nodded and said yes. Mrs. Meng looked around again, but she still couldn't see her brother, so she asked.

Mrs. Xin smiled and said: "The family said they missed Brother Quan. My waist bones were sore these past two days. Thinking about Brother Quan, I couldn't bear it, so I sent it over."

What she said was actually just covering up for herself. Brother Quan was picked up by someone sent by Mrs. Song yesterday. It's a rare baby to take his grandson to see. Mrs. Xin didn't want to let it go. Brother Pianquan kept crying, fell on the ground and sneered, and was bound to pass. Madam Xin had no choice but to ask someone to take it away. He hasn't come back today.

There was a slight sneer at the corner of the second lady’s mouth. Madam Xin caught a glimpse of it, a little annoyed, but still smiling, she said something, and looked at the second lady: "Your sisters have not seen each other for many years. Then, just talk about it, don't worry about me." The tone is very sincere.

The second wife smiled and said: "I have already said a lot of words, and it's almost the same. I think the nieces and nieces are all lacking, and it won't be too late to talk about the rest next time."

Mrs. Meng said goodbye, Mrs. Xin asked to stay for the meal, Mrs. Meng politely declined, and Mrs. Xin said: "Alright, you have worked **** the road. Go back and rest early. I won't stay here." She got up to see off the guests.

Since Jiafu came in, she stood by her mother's side. Although she kept her head down halfway, she felt Pei Xiuzhi's two eyes from time to time. Seeing him, I couldn’t help but think of the last scene of a previous life with his husband and wife. It was pitiful, sad, ridiculous, and hateful. At this moment, he looked at him so many times and felt extremely uncomfortable in my heart. The aunt's inner homes are even more clear, and I don't want to stay longer for a while, I wish I could leave the door immediately. As for Zhen Yaoting, she just arrived in the capital and hasn’t been here for a few years. It’s just fresh. Don’t stay here and listen to women’s nonchalant gossip. You are impatient for a long time, and you can leave. I’m relieved and busy. Followed out the door.

Regardless of Mrs. Meng’s repeated refusal, Pei Xiuzhi not only sent out the door, but also personally sent it back to the Zhen’s house. Madam Meng was very moved. After getting off the carriage, he invited him in for tea. Pei Xiuzhi glanced at Jiafu and smiled. Jiafu suddenly said: "Mother, we just arrived today. The house is in a mess, and the luggage is not put away. Where is the fire from the stove. It would be rude to invite my second cousin in, so let's go back."

Mrs. Meng was startled slightly, glanced at her daughter, and saw that she looked serious and solemn, and she was a little puzzled for a while.

Without waiting for Mrs. Meng to speak, Jia Fu turned to Pei Xiuzhi, smiling slightly: "Today, my second cousin Lao has contributed, and I thanked my mother. Naturally, my second cousin will not dislike the coldness of my tea, but my mother has gone all the way. When I arrived today, my second cousin also saw it. Without a breath of breath, he left his relatives again, which is really lacking. Please forgive me for the many inconveniences today."

Pei Xiuzhi wanted to follow up, but when Gaffer said that, his steps stopped, and he had to say: "The cousin said yes. Then I will leave first, you guys will have a good rest."

Mrs. Meng asked him to go well. When he disappeared, his daughter walked in with her arm on her arm. The whole person relaxed and said with a smile: "What you just said is correct, my mother is a bit lacking. It's just rare that he is like this. Diligently, sent us back to the door of the house, and left without asking people to have a sip of tea. I was a little disappointed. Besides, you are not outsiders anymore, waiting for the old lady’s birthday to pass..."

"Mother! My second cousin and I haven't made a wedding yet. Even if we do, our family will not keep him much. He has been by the side today. You stay with him again for fear that there will be gossips over there."

Madam Meng suddenly woke up and sighed: "You still think it's thoughtful, but my mother forgot it for a while."

In Mrs. Meng’s impression, her daughter has always been soft, soft, and obedient. Now she is about to marry, and she still enters the Guogong Mansion. She always feels uneasy at first, but she did not expect that she was so considerate and even neglected. She thought about it. Although she was a little surprised, she felt relieved that her daughter had grown up and sensible.

Jia Fu was next to her mother, walked slowly inward, and said, "Mother, you go to rest and regain your energy. I will send someone to Song's house to send a greeting card. If Mrs. Song is free, we will have noon. Let's go to the Song's house. She is my godmother, and I want to go to worship her earlier, and show our sincerity."

Mrs. Meng felt distressed and gratified, and said: "I was afraid that you were tired and wanted to go again tomorrow. You think so, or if you reply to the letter over there, let's go early. Sooner or later, we have to leave. Come on."

After Jiafu sent her mother back to the room for a rest, she didn't feel tired at all, watching Sandalwood bring the little girls back home, waiting for the Song family's response.

Before noon, the person sent to send the greeting card came back and brought a letter, saying that Mrs. Song asked the Zhen family to come over.

Gaffer had expected such a reply long ago.

She has dealt with Mrs. Song in the previous life. This "ganniang" has eyes higher than the top and has an impatient personality. She had already led the old lady Ye to be very dissatisfied when she went northward. After getting off the boat and returning to Song's house, she must have reported her words and deeds early. With Mrs. Song's temperament, how could it be possible to hold it back? Even if she hadn't planned to go today, she would definitely call her mother and daughter over.

The so-called child-seeking magic talisman is just an introduction.

Whether she has been thinking about fate since waking up, whether she can achieve her wish, the next thing is the key.

Today is really a good opportunity, she must seize it.

Suddenly, Gaffer felt agitated and felt nervous again. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he calmed down, he called for sandalwood and said, "I want to take a bath and change clothes."
